9 Nice idea. Could be very helpful for newcomers.

16 Why only us-keyboard? E.g. with the german keyboard layout
17 I have that is almost unusable. A command line option would be
18 nice, wouldn't it?

23 I have tested it on my ibook G4 1Ghz(radeon), and it is running at
24 the moment.

28 All the graphics related things work well (why is dri commented?),
29 I have only some trouble with the keyboard settings.
30 First, my "self made" AltGr-emulation and switching
31 beetween the ttys did not work.
32 I commented out the the "macintosh" option and that helped.
33 For some special keys adding the line
34 Option "XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys"
35 is also necessary.
36 While writing this mail I noticed there are still some keys
37 who don't work.

39 Bye
